Pablo, apóstol^a de Cristo Jesús^b por la voluntad de Dios^c, según la promesa de vida en Cristo Jesús^d, 2 a Timoteo^a, amado hijo^b: Gracia^c, misericordia y paz de parte de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.

3 Doy gracias a Dios^a, a quien sirvo^b con limpia conciencia^c como lo hicieron mis antepasados¹, de que sin cesar, noche y día, me acuerdo de ti en mis oraciones^2d, 4 deseando verte^a, al acordarme de tus lágrimas^b, para llenarme de alegría. 5 Porque tengo presente¹ la fe sincera² que hay en ti, la cual habitó primero en tu abuela Loida^a y en tu madre Eunice^b, y estoy seguro que en ti también. 6 Por lo cual te recuerdo que avives el fuego del don de Dios que hay en ti por la imposición de mis manos^a. 7 Porque no nos ha dado Dios espíritu de cobardía^a, sino de poder, de amor y de dominio propio¹. 8 Por tanto, no te avergüences^a del testimonio de nuestro Señor^b, ni de mí, prisionero suyo^c, sino participa conmigo en las aflicciones^d por el evangelio, según el poder de Dios^e, 9 quien nos ha salvado^a y nos ha llamado^b con un llamamiento santo^c, no según nuestras obras^d, sino según su propósito^e y según la gracia que nos fue dada en Cristo Jesús^f desde la eternidad^1g, 10 y que ahora ha sido manifestada^a por la aparición de nuestro Salvador^b Cristo Jesús^c, quien abolió la muerte^d y sacó a la luz la vida y la inmortalidad por medio del evangelio, 11 para el cual¹ yo fui constituido predicador², apóstol y maestro^a. 12 Por lo cual también sufro estas cosas, pero no me avergüenzo^a; porque yo sé en quién he creído, y estoy convencido de que es poderoso^b para guardar mi depósito^1c hasta² aquel día^d. 13 Retén^a la norma^1b de las sanas palabras^c que has oído de mí^d, en la fe y el amor^e en Cristo Jesús^f. 14 Guarda, mediante el Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros^a, el tesoro que te ha sido encomendado^1b.

15 Ya sabes esto, que todos los que están en Asia^1a me han vuelto la espalda^b, entre los cuales están Figelo y Hermógenes. 16 Conceda el Señor misericordia a la casa de Onesíforo^a, porque muchas veces me dio refrigerio y no se avergonzó^b de mis cadenas^1c, 17 antes bien, cuando estuvo en Roma, me buscó con afán y me halló; 18 que el Señor le conceda hallar misericordia del Señor en aquel día^a. Además, los servicios que prestó en Efeso^b, tú lo sabes mejor.

Paul, ^aan apostle of ^bChrist Jesus ^1cby the will of God, according to the promise of ^dlife in Christ Jesus,

2 To ^aTimothy, my beloved ^1bson: ^cGrace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 ^aI thank God, whom I ^bserve with a ^cclear conscience ¹the way my forefathers did, ^das I constantly remember you in my ²prayers night and day, 4 ^alonging to see you, ^beven as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. 5 ¹For I am mindful of the ^asincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and ^byour mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh ^athe gift of God which is in you through ^bthe laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a ^aspirit of ¹timidity, but of power and love and ²discipline.

8 Therefore ^ado not be ashamed of the ^btestimony of our Lord or of me ^cHis prisoner, but join with me in ^dsuffering for the ^egospel according to the power of God, 9 who has ^asaved us and ^bcalled us with a holy ^ccalling, ^dnot according to our works, but according to His own ^epurpose and grace which was granted us in ^fChrist Jesus from ^gall eternity, 10 but ^anow has been revealed by the ^bappearing of our Savior ^cChrist Jesus, who ^dabolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 ^afor which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but ^aI am not ashamed; for I know ^bwhom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to ^cguard what I have entrusted to Him ¹until ^dthat day. 13 ^1aRetain the ^bstandard of ^csound words ^dwhich you have heard from me, in the ^efaith and love which are in ^fChrist Jesus. 14 Guard, through the Holy Spirit who ^adwells in us, the ^1btreasure which has been entrusted to you.

15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in ^1aAsia ^bturned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 The Lord grant mercy to ^athe house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and ^bwas not ashamed of my ^1cchains; 17 but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me— 18 the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on ^athat day—and you know very well what services he rendered at ^bEphesus.
